Nichols Village sits at 1 Nichols Way in Groveland, MA, where seniors 62 and older can choose from 78 apartments and 16 cottages set on 90 acres of woods and fields, and there's bright, one-level, maintenance-free living throughout the community, plus the option for independent or assisted living, with skilled nursing and memory care for those who need more help and attention. Folks who don't need medical care can still join in for lively social events, group fitness like yoga or Tai Chi, and spend time swimming in the indoor heated lap pool with a whirlpool spa, working out in the gym, or catching a show in the state-of-the-art auditorium where they sometimes have musical acts or theater. Nichols Village provides a Wellness Center with a variety of fitness classes, a 24-hour call system for help, and a Wellness Coordinator who can set up health programs for each person-a Home Care Program's available if someone wants extra support or medical help in their own apartment or cottage, with staff ready to help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication. Seniors living with Alzheimer's or another dementia can get support in a memory care environment that tries to make things simple and safe, with features to help prevent wandering and confusion.
When it comes to daily needs, folks can enjoy meals prepared with care about nutrition and taste, there's walking paths for outdoor strolls, and parks nearby for a bit of fresh air; plus, quick access to things like the CVS Pharmacy, medical offices at Whittier Pavilion and Pentucket Medical Associates, and nearby places to eat such as Starbucks or McDonald's. The apartments come in various styles, including single-family homes, townhomes, and luxury units, with features like washers and dryers, air conditioning, patios or balconies, doormen, and, for those interested, it's pet-friendly-though there's no current details on parking or specific outdoor amenities. Renting here can look different for everyone, with terms and fees that aren't clearly listed, and while Nichols Village's not currently open for new rentals or sales, it's a place built to meet changing needs over time, from active adult life to more care as it becomes necessary. The visiting hours run Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and on weekends from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but reviews haven't been shared yet, so there's still a lot to learn from people living there now.
